Abstract
Human monoclonal antibodies capable of specifically reacting with an antigenic determinant of LAV/HTLV-III and cell lines producing those monoclonal antibodies are disclosed. The human monoclonal antibodies may be utilized in a method for determining the presence of LAV/HTLV-III in biological samples, or in a method for separating specific antigenic determinants of LAV/HTLV-III from a mixture. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such a human monoclonal antibody, and a method for significantly reducing the infectivity of LAV/HTLV-III in animals using the composition are also disclosed.
